About Me

*****LACK OF PRIVACY NOTICE***** I have no privacy interest in what I post here. I wouldn't be naive enough to believe that I had one I could protect anyway on an openly public forum. So if you see something read it, copy it, share it, use it, claim it has your own or just go whistle Dixie. I don't care. If you are the government, well being in law enforcement, I know you will need a lot more than what appears on here to impact my life so if I have said something you don't like, well: TOUGH. That being said I am usually a pretty nice guy, I used to think I was a little paranoid, but compared to some of my fellow Sodaheads, I am just a piker in the paranoia parade. Some of you guys OWN IT. Cheers!name="enableHREF" value="false"/>

Nope not a Mountaineer as in Morgantown,lol but I do live very near Harpers Ferry,have you been?! I suggest the haunted tour. The aroma of apple cider cooking,resurrected Autumn leaves whirling about rustling in bunches underfoot,the gentle sound and musty smell of the Shenandoah River,the screech of the old stone church gate,a sensory delight back in time...

Your profile reflects some diverse interests. You comment about the 01 flood makes me think you might live alone the Ohio River? I have some "attachment" to that area, which caused me to ask about where you lived.

I'm more or less Libertarian and mostly Independent I dont like to classify myself because both parties just look out for No.1 and No.1 usually aint me.Liberal logic mostly irks me but moderate Democrat is'nt as bad. There is allways going to good and bad in both.
